My tablet finally passes away
It is with Deepest Regret
That I have to announce the passing of my Amazon Fire HD 7" Tablet.
After three years of faithful service it started to decline at the weekend and would not recharge properly. Then last night while darkness covered our part of the world it finally slipped away with its dying message, Battery at 1%.
It will be sorely missed as despite being only three years old it was in use virtually 24 hours a day, so much work obviously took its toll.
I can still remember our first days together when it was young and carefree and our age difference meant nothing as we fell in love so fast and it would receive my emails with a gentle bonging noise, we would enjoy dates together on my calendar, and watch Prime films together.
Many times we enjoyed ordering take away food and would dine on the sofa just staring at each other face to face while iPlayer played catch up programs for us.
We cried watching ET at Christmas and laughed when YouTube suddenly started recommending lots of Ladyboy in Thailand clips to us.
We listened to music together and not once did it complain about my singing, like most of my neighbour's did.
It will be greatly missed but it did tell it its time for me to move on and maybe start seeing that second hand laptop my son gave me last Christmas, still in a box, as using my smartphone to go on the internet is not easy and as you know and smartphones will go out with anyone with money willing to pay for play.
